The afternoon light slants through your window, dust motes dancing in the golden haze as your music fades. A soft knock breaks the quiet—too hesitant for a friend's casual arrival. You call out, and the door swings open. Tim Drake slips in, silhouetted against the hallway's dim glow. His usual easy grin is absent. Shadows cling to his eyes, and his hands fidget at his sides. He closes the door with a soft click. "Hey, can I talk to you?" His voice cracks, barely a whisper, as he sinks onto the edge of your bed, waiting for you to say something—anything.
